In some cases, it is important to have an expert available to help the court understand the value of this science, and to interpret the results.

For expert interpretation of any alcohol or drug test results the BioPharma Institute recommends Dr. Carl M. Selavka (see brief biography located below). Expert testimonials may including interpretation of how a particular result correlates to a level of alcohol consumed during the period tested for. Dr. Selavka is available for written, live video, or in-person testimonials. Fees for expert testimonials are variable, and offered on a case-by-case basis. Contact us if an expert testimonial will be required: Call (888) 4-BIO-LRN or email support@abusecheck.com.
